Diploma

My (day job) company was purchased by our insurance company.

February 15 in the last day for our company.

After 43 years.

February 16 we start over again as a new company.

So this week we all had to do "transitional" procedures.

Which basically meant fill out a bunch of papers,

Have a new picture taken for badges,

Give FIVE vials of blood

And a urine sample.

Then provide documentation.

Drivers license.

Social Security card.

Proof of citizenship (or in my case, resident alien card)

And

proof of education.

We are a medical practice,

so it makes sense they would want to see nurses degrees,

doctors licenses,

etc.

Nope.

They want High School Diplomas.

SERIOUSLY???????

Surprisingly, 

Henry Wise Wood High School

in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

does not have a data bank that goes back to 1977.

(I know this, because I spoke with them today.)

So I mailed a request to

Education Alberta.

They promised it would be processed within a week of receipt.

Here's hoping!
